Workers' Compensation is a state regulated insurance program that pays medical bills and replaces some of the wages that an employee may lose as a result of being injured at work or who have a work related disease or illness. Any employee who sustains an injury on the job must notify their immediate supervisor. The employee must complete the workers compensation form on the same day that the injury occurred. More information can be accessed in the Workers' Compensation Insurance Guide. If you have questions you can contact the Workers Compensation Team. See more on the Policy and Administrative Procedures.
